2020 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 93 recorded matchups at the 2020 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship, 56 finished on points. That tells you how often the top field settled things by positional control rather than the finish.
• ▸ The submission rate at this event sat at 26 percent, with 24 recorded submissions. If you train under AJP rules, that split is a good reminder of how much scoring matters here.
• ▸ Among the finishes that were identified, Gi Choke From Back led the way with 6, ahead of the Triangle Choke at 2. Back control staying the highest-percentage road to a tap is consistent with what most gi players see in their own rooms.
• ▸ Jonas Andrade and Kieran Kichuk each posted 3 wins with 2 of them by submission. In a bracket where most decisions came by points, hunting for the finish set them apart.
• ▸ Isaque Bahiense edged Tommy Langaker in the 85kgs final, and the match was decided by advantage rather than points or a submission. That is about as thin a margin as a title gets.
